According to the San Francisco Chroutch
there can hardly be a doubt that there is
something wrong about the Indian coun-
try. There S not Jail anywhere withip
the bounds OF the Cherokee reservs ton
No country can ever be at high point OF
civilization in wh ch there are no jails and
nobody does any thing to nesl them. We
have always bean taught to look upon
Damon and Pythias ons OF the mo st

honor. Listen to this from the
Cherokee Indian and ask yourself II
It does not give you some different

killing another man some time ago. A
stranger in the Territory happened to be
with the sheriff when the news that the
appeal had been lost and the sentence
must be carried out.
"Yos,s said the sheriff "rll have to
have the poor fellow shot"

HOW TO CATCH RATS.
Points Cleaned From Conversation with
Professional Rat Catcher.

A. reporter of the New York Tribune
found professional rat-catcher recently
and had talk with him. "Have / ever
been bittena" said the ratcatcher, repe it-
ing question put to him by the reporter.
'Yes, sir! A hundred times and more;
but The bite does not usually amount TO
any thing. Rats have two motions of the
jaw in biting. The first is soft and deli
cate, and the teeth just scratch the object
they have hold of. Then follows a
quick, sharp, powerful action of the
jaw, and the slender teeth sink
up to the gums and stay there. This bite is
dangerous. If the teeth have gone deeply
into my hand,I always suck the wound.
This seems to keep the swelling down, but
a ways good deal Of pain follows. NY
arm has swollen sometimes, when hun
cry fellow has given me nip, to twice
its natural size. It's strange, but there
is no harm in the bite of a well-fed rat
A frightened rat will fight, if cornered
and viciousty, too. The way to grab rats
so that they can not bite is to seize them
with strong grip ust back of the neck.
They will howl like stuck pigs, but can
not get away, and are entirely under con
troll"
'Some rat-catchers say they can charm
rats" said the reporter.
''Yes,' answered the man. "but never
saw rat that could be charmed, though
I've often seen it tried. The method used
is whistling or singing doletul song.
The rats will, it is true, exhibit astonish-
ment at shrll whistle, but when the
amin al is said to be under the mysterious
influence Of the whistler, / never saw
one yet, il he was a little hungry, that
would not send his teeth through your fin
ger just the same as If he had never been
charmed. This whole business is O hum
bug, and, as the experiment is always
made with tame rat, people get an idea
that there is' something in it, and ars
duped"

"A new novel opens with descrip-
ton OF the hero, a young man who
comes to New York from the country
fresh and pure" He may be fresh,
and he probably is, but freshness and
purity do not necessarily travel in pairs.
Not in New York. And the prievous
thing about it., in the case of the aver
age fresh and pure young man, is that
purity secedes first, while freshness con.

sometimes for many, many weeks.
